Application
Suitable Crates for Packing
Ensure that only suitable empty returnable crates continue to the packing process. IMAGE LK detects crate defects, residual objects and relevant format characteristics after unpacking.

Operating principle
Multi-View Camera Inspection
High-resolution colour cameras, specialised optics, mirrors and dedicated LED illumination capture crate surfaces and interiors. The system evaluates the images, tracks inspection results and transfers reject or sorting decisions to connected equipment.
- PerformanceUp to 7,500 cph
Benefits
- Automated inspection helps keep unsuitable crates away from the packing process and can reduce packer downtime.
- Reliable detection of crate defects and residual objects reduces the risk of repacking and downstream disruption.
- Automated inspection and sorting can reduce manual inspection effort and related labour costs.
- Compatibility with common returnable crates supports different compartment types, colours and logo conditions.
- Integrated tracking and statistics provide transparent inspection results for production monitoring.
- The compact, expandable architecture supports existing lines and future multi-line concepts.
